Overview

Abigail helps clients protect and commercialize their innovations and brands, combining a chemical engineering background with experience in patent and trademark preparation, prosecution, and strategy, to her intellectual property practice.

Abigail combines technical knowledge with a practical, business-minded approach to intellectual property matters. Before becoming an attorney, she worked as a supply chain analyst in the chemical manufacturing industry. Then, she joined the firm in 2022 as a patent agent and continued her patent practice throughout law school. She draws on that experience to understand clients’ technologies, identify intellectual property priorities, and develop strategies aligned with their business goals.

Her patent experience includes global patent strategy and prosecution, namely utility and design patent work involving chemical and process engineering, biomechanical engineering, and biotechnology. She prepares office action responses, interviews inventors and patent examiners, and conducts patentability and freedom-to-operate searches and related opinion work. Abigail also assists clients in trademark matters, helping them protect and manage the brands that distinguish their businesses.

Drawn to the intersection of innovation and legal strategy, Abigail’s approach is attentive, proactive, and collaborative. She brings curiosity, careful analysis, and creative problem solving to her work, continually deepening her understanding of clients’ technologies and businesses and contribute to strategies that advance their goals.
